Famous Japanese Haikuplet
終わりを聞く
トウモロコシの穂, 彼ら は聞いた,
行 後 行, 彼らは音を聞いた
収穫機の成長
トウモロコシの耳、それらは切り取られた,
彼らはそれを聞いていない、
彼らの茎が地面に当たった
[circa 500 a.d. — Lance]
Hearing The End
The ears of corn heard,
row after row, the sound of
the harvester grow.
The ears were cut off,
not hearing the sound of their
stalks hitting the ground.
